Abstract

1. The psychobiologic approach to life is that of treating it as a whole rather than splitting it into "mental" and "physical."

2. Seven lectures dealing with the problems of life as a whole are given to first-year medical students.

3. Each student is required to write an autobiography in which he discusses frankly the problems that have been troublesome in his life.

4. The data from these autobiographies are classified.

5. It is felt that such autobiographical data not only serves as a means of getting acquainted with the students, but also afford a useful approach to the psychiatric training most helpful to the general practitioner of medicine.

6. These autobiographies present methods and conditions by which the hazards of life have been overcome or rationalized.

7. Other educational and psychiatric problems are suggested by the data.
